What did Osama say could end his wrath? Our conversion to Islam.


I think you are confused as to my point.  I did not blame anything on Islam, I just noted that to submit to OBL's demands one should convert to Islam.  This has nothing to do with religion it has to do with submission.

I understand your point that terrorism is a tactic and to wage war on a tactic rather than human enemies is rather bizarre.

However what else are you going to call an action aganst those who use this tactic?  War is as good a word as any and better than most in describing the present effort.

Well the problem is that the "War on terrorism" expression can be used for almost anything, we know that Osama was behind the 9/11 attacks, and the pilots was from Saudi Araibia, but yet Bush attacks Iraq in the name of "War on terrorism".

In my mind, Afgan war was valid and it had my support whole hartly, if you where to attack Saudi you would get my support defenitly...

But attacking Iraq in the name of "War on terrorism" was wrong. Sure im happy to see Saddam gone, but i didnt like the way Bush sold the war, and the way people bought it...

Bush sold it?  That's odd, I thought congress voted on it.

And graciously US vetoed for Iraq in UN after it used WMD against Iranians.
Funny though, all the sudden it's not "ok" to even have those or even be suspected of.

This is something I find botheringly double faced.

It should be clear to all that those on this board who are only interested in villifying Bush wont care if we find 10,000 nuclear warheads aimed at NYC.

It will never be enough to justify the action, it will always be too old, or it will never have been intended to be used.  They dont want to be convinced, their pride in their own viewpoint is too strong, and their skulls too thick.

Hopefully, considering the lack of wide-spread reporting of this incident, and the fact that the administration itself is playing the find down, means that there is much else to be uncovered.

Good job guys.

Gawsh! Maybe a big `ol apology and a "do over" is in order, then! It may not be too late. Saddam is still alive. Reparations won't cost much more than the funds being used to rebuild the place anyhoo. I'm sure Saddam will make the best use of them.

It was a truly evil war fought by a truly evil power that had no business picking on the little guy who really wasn't a threat to anybody but his own people. Terrorism can't be stopped or even stalled. Besides, it's totally justified. The kids of the "Evil Satan" will just grow up to be adult "Evil Satans." At least the ones dying for Allah with a bomb strapped to their chests are doing something good before they die. Darth Bush must be stopped. Where is Luke Skywalker and the rest of the Jedi Knights when you need them? :D

Agreed...also.

Always felt that the draft instead of taking 18 - 20 year olds then working upwards should take 45 year olds and work downwards - would be far less wars and bellicose middle aged farts behind computer monitors should get a taste of what they wish for.

A lot of those middle aged pharts did their time on the front lines. Go figure.

Mustard gas is quite useful even 50 after years at the bottom of an ocean.

At what point in your twisted mind does a WMD (by definition is mustard gas a WMD) become a non-WMD?

As soon as you point to the UNSC resolution prohibiting them from owning WMD's...

Yep, they found some bio/chem weapons....

Looks like they have been burried for a long time tho. Those that found them, say they may come form the iran/iraq war or atleast 10 years old. They where rusted and useless.

But hey... they found something :aok
